  • Black cats

    I’m back home!
    Spent the last couple of days in Singapore and JB. It was a fun trip despite the small group this year. We even met the famous youtube star: ling86! That was pretty cool. I got to drive an M3 😀 Buy a shirt, get tooled at the same ice-cream shop, eat ramen ten and pepper lunch, look at pretty girls at starbucks (lol) and walk around alot. I didn’t take any photographs cos I didn’t bring my camera along so I’ll have to get them off Ferhan’s awesome camera.

    Anyway, the point of my post is actually about an idea I had which I thought was pretty cool when I thought about it last Friday morning. But now after awhile it’s just so-so. I’ll just share it anyway– (the message saved on my phone:) black cats aren’t bad luck! Driving in the dark- see a brown cat on the road, swerve to avoid it, crash and die. Drive on the road, you don’t see a black cat, run over it, and you don’t swerve, crash and die. Basically I was thinking of how ‘bad luck omens’ could be reversed into good luck instead. Could be for a short 4 panel comic or animation clip under 1 minute. There’s so many superstitious ideas out there, you can’t run out of material!

    Sometimes my dreams can continue! It’s like a tv-series in my head! Of recent I’ve been dreaming about staying in a house in some nice fancy place. I don’t know if it even exists, but it’s in this super nice high-class area, with flowers, peach colored walls and hot neighbours. I keep dreaming about that same place. I don’t know what it means. Maybe it’s a vision of where I’ll be living in the future. Or it could be interpreted as something else. Any dream analyzers here? Haha.

    After watching Superbad I’m inspired to draw more dicks! That movie rocks. Seriously. One of the funniest ‘high school films’ since Napolean Dynamite and The Breakfast Club. A must watch!

  • Score thief

    You know what I like to do at arcades?
    I watch people who play games, finish off the boss, and leave right after that. I stay till the credits are over, and when it says ‘enter your initials’ I put mine in.

    Are rapper names getting more ridiculous each day? The other day I was flipping through the newspaper and there was a new rapper called ‘Soulja Boy’. That wasn’t the worst part, throughout the whole interview, he kept talking about money- making it and spending it. That’s it! Every question he just answered with something about money.

    Is it just me or does Michael Jackson have a problem saying ‘thriller’ in his own song, Thriller?
    It sounds like he’s saying ‘D love!’ or ‘Three love!’ or ‘Tree Lor!’. It sounds like everything except Thriller! How can someone sing a song when they can’t even pronounce its title?!

    Someone recommend this movie to me and now I’ve been recommending this movie to everybody: Zeitgeist. It’s an online indie movie about conspiracies. If you like conspiracies, you have to watch this. It’s like the Da Vinci Code on steroids. Insane shit. It’s about 2hours long, so grab a nice chair and enjoy the ride.

  • Want to sixty-nine?

    So the other day I was chatting with James online and somehow he convinced me to buy a lottery ticket. So a few days later, I headed to the Sports Toto place nearby my office and bought a ticket. I spent RM5 on it. The number?

    1269
    James’ reasoning behind the number – ‘Want to 69?’ That was enough for me to go out and buy it.

    Now when I told one of my friends this, he said that there was no way in the world I would win. His reasoning? Cos it was a ‘stupid’ number. And it wasn’t a ‘winning’ number. To him, a ‘winning’ number would be one taken from a car accident or something auspicious.

    James told me my next ticket number should be -2969. (To-night-sixty-nine)
    A sure fire winner!

    The other day my boss decided that watching Prison Break on a standard sized monitor wasn’t enough.. so he took away my dual monitor set up and gave me a wide screen monitor in place. So now I enjoy PB on widescreen!

    (totally made up story about the Prison Break bit, but the rest is true :p)
